so then you go to the fallback, which is argued by the obama administration. they're basically saying any state like california that gives all of the rights of marriage -- the right to adopt, the rights, all the benefits -- except for the word marriage. their argument is that any state that does that is unconstitutionally discriminating by just holding back the word marriage, that there's no principled reason for it if you're going to say that same-sex couples can do everything else that traditional couples can do. very few members of the court seem to be willing to embrace that either. they seem to be bothered by the idea that, if they did that, they're in essence punishing the states that are willing to grant all of those rights and giving the other states that don't grant any rights to same-sex couples a free ride. so that leaves the only other option, which is to either uphold prop 8 or to limit this ruling somehow, applying only to california. that's where i think the reaction is. i think several members of the court seem to be struggling to find a way to
